As a sort of opposite insight in regard to today's purported "signs and wonders" can it be true that the overwhelming number of videos of such supposed events online hide us from the few that may be true? Jesus told many that He healed to tell no one.
That was in my estimation to keep Him from being recognized and having throngs trying to make Him King thus distracting the focus of His ministry as it wasn't the time for that. I would also propose that it is a warning to us today not to make such events a sideshow. The world always seeks after a sign; and if anything the Pharisees among us would be adding to their judgment and condemnation; and also with a TRUE miracle no doubt believers would face more persecution when REPENTANCE is presented. Food for thought...
This fits into the whole concept of marketing a Christian agenda in a political framework. The results of any "revival" apart from scriptural foundations seeking true repentance ends up being a sort of "self fulfilling" prophecy. God isn't interested in clever marketing ntools; and a set number will believe; only a few will be saved and that is basically the end of the matter if we seek scriptural counsel on this matter.
Nefarious techniques can produce what is marketed as persecution (a problem) and whatever "solution" is offered. I am not here to focus on conspiracy theories; patriotism; politics etc. There are enough sites to read up on that subject (along with AI ones as well; no doubt).
The body of Christ is the sum of God's parts; as it were as He has divided us according to His purposes to fit together as a whole through corporate fellowship. HE is the head; of course and certainly when He comes won't need a computer to show the world. I would say it is likely such things will all be fried at Armageddon; and even if theoretically not in the Millennium there will be sufficient time as in eternity for personal relationships to find full life.
